   JJ, I have a batch file that backs up a user program without rebuildable files   
   to a specified folder using 7Zip and one that returns the current date.  The   
   former is hard-coded for my needs but can be customized by other downloaders,   
   and the latter    
   simply returns the current date in the environment variable %DATE2%.  The   
   former first asks for the subfolder (I call it the system, as that is how I   
   organize my backups, but you can change the prompt text.) then makes a   
   temporary copy of the program,    
   deletes rebuildable files (mainly programs and object files), compresses the   
   folder, attaches the date to the name, moves the file to the destination and   
   then deletes the temporary folder.  Are you interested?  If so, I ask for a   
   way to send you the    
   files in any way you like.  I have some information on sourceforge.net and can   
   upload them there, or I can e-mail you the files.   
      
   BTW, I have other batch files that I use.  I'll look at them now.
